* FollowTheLeader: ** The Archie series was meant to capitalize on many of the "Film/AndyHardy" features of the era. Its own popularity soared enough that near-countless rip-offs were created, some by Archie Comics itself. "That Wilkin Boy", "Josie" and "Wilbur" were all Archie-made blatant rip-offs (though Josie got re-tooled). Lampshaded in the "Archie Marries Veronica" timeline, when Betty's post-Archie boyfriends include Film/AndyHardy, [[Radio/TheAldrichFamily Henry Aldrich]] and [[Series/HappyDays Richie Cunningham]].** The 2015 reboot is seen by fans as Archie Comics following Marvel and DC in doing just for the sake of it. Yeah, one of their titles, ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog'', did it earlier- but it was forced on them due to a lawsuit from an ex-writer (though it did them a favor by eliminating all the ContinuitySnarl the title had been afflicted with).* NoExportForYou: Inverted, at least in Mexico and possibly the rest of Latin America, regarding the whole ''Archie'' franchise: To this date the whole franchise is the ''only thing'', besides the Franchise/ArchieComics version of ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''[[note]]And even yet, they only published a few translated issues before canceling that version in the 90s[[/note]], are the only franchises published in that region, since ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' has not being translated into Spanish.** In Europe, on the contrary, the ''Archie'' franchise is completely unknown.* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Archie Comics approached Creator/{{Nintendo}} for the rights to make Nintendo comics, but they turned them down. Sketches were made, however.

!! General Trivia* From a 1970's trivia book: Moose Mason's real first name is Marmaduke.* In the early 1970's, artist Al Hartley, who had become a born-again Christian a few years before, somehow managed to get the company – which was and still is run by two Jewish families – to license out the Archie characters for use in blatantly religious comics published by Spire Christian Comics. These Christian Archie comics were apparently successful and continued to be produced into the early 1980's. They were [[{{Anvilicious}} pretty blatant]] about their messages, with [[AsTheGoodBookSays Bible verses aplenty strewn throughout the dialogue]], and depicting Betty and Archie as uber-Christians.** They were also, if you can believe it, a bit DarkerAndEdgier at times (Christian publishers didn't observe [[UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode the Code]]) depicting pot-peddling, temptations to drug use, and one issue in which two drug-using kids get in a car crash and are near death.
